Our thanks to the people who’ve volunteered to join us during our anti-MGM protest next week. For maximum impact we’ll be displaying a couple of banners, and many placards, including some that you can see in the photo taken at the end of the July conference (above).
We recently took delivery of 5,000 leaflets, and hope to hand out most if not all of them. 10,000+ people attend the Tory autumn conferences, despite the party’s policies not having been conservative – at least on social issues, the family etc. – for many years. We’ve updated the text, the first side of the leaflet is here, the second side here.
We’re also taking along thousands of leaflets produced by an American Jewish anti-MGM group, Jews Against Circumcision, titled Brit Shalom.
Feel free to join us for even a short time, to show your support, if you can.

Our thanks to James for this in PR Week. It includes a link to a video (3:26) of some women at FlyBe. He writes:
There are two deliciously ironic parts in there:
- One of the women says that “I didn’t have the degree or the technical skills stated on the job advert, but I got the job anyway, so don’t let it hold you back”
- Another says “It’s all about getting girls at primary school to feel that they can apply to aviation and it’s not just for boys. Then all you need to worry about is getting the best person for the job, and not whether they’re male or female”
Beautifully, staggeringly ironic, and ill thought through.

Our thanks to Ray for this. He’s caught the first 20 minutes of the long interview (98 minutes) but recommends it on the basis of that. We’re too pushed for time to watch it at the moment – preparing for the anti-MGM protest at the Tory conference next Monday / Tuesday – so if anyone reading this has the time to watch it in full, and provide a critique in the comments section, we’d be grateful.

By the New York Times bestselling author: a provocative account of the attack on the humanities, the rise of intolerance, and the erosion of serious learning
America is in crisis, from the university to the workplace. Toxic ideas first spread by higher education have undermined humanistic values, fueled intolerance, and widened divisions in our larger culture. Chaucer, Shakespeare and Milton? Oppressive. American history? Tyranny. Professors correcting grammar and spelling, or employers hiring by merit? Racist and sexist. Students emerge into the working world believing that human beings are defined by their skin color, gender, and sexual preference, and that oppression based on these characteristics is the American experience. Speech that challenges these campus orthodoxies is silenced with brute force.The Diversity Delusion argues that the root of this problem is the belief in America’s endemic racism and sexism, a belief that has engendered a metastasizing diversity bureaucracy in society and academia. Diversity commissars denounce meritocratic standards as discriminatory, enforce hiring quotas, and teach students and adults alike to think of themselves as perpetual victims. From #MeToo mania that blurs flirtations with criminal acts, to implicit bias and diversity compliance training that sees racism in every interaction, Heather Mac Donald argues that we are creating a nation of narrowed minds, primed for grievance, and that we are putting our competitive edge at risk.
But there is hope in the works of authors, composers, and artists who have long inspired the best in us. Compiling the author’s decades of research and writing on the subject, The Diversity Delusion calls for a return to the classical liberal pursuits of open-minded inquiry and expression, by which everyone can discover a common humanity.

Times caption: Jenny McDonagh splashed out on expensive holidays KIRSTY O’CONNOR/PA
A piece in today’s Times:
A council manager who stole £62,000 meant for Grenfell survivors and defrauded the NHS of more than £35,000 was sentenced to five-and-a-half years in jail today.
The judge, Robyn Johnson, said it “beggars belief” that Jenny McDonagh, 39, a gambling addict, had spent money meant for survivors on expensive holidays, lingerie and hair appointments.
He said: “I have to sentence many cases that have come to be known as Grenfell frauds, your offending is unique in my experience.
“As the Finance Manager at the Grenfell Team with the Royal Borough Council of Kensington and Chelsea you knew exactly what these funds were for and the importance of them for the intended recipients, namely the victims of the fire.
“Bearing that in mind the scale of your dishonest in these frauds beggars belief. Members of the public, indeed the nation, were shocked by this dreadful event.
“The fact that you, a person who had been given the task of assisting in the aftermath, sought to enrich yourself is the more shocking in the light of outpouring of grief and sympathy that followed the disaster.”
McDonagh pleaded guilty to fraud by abuse of position while working at Medway NHS Foundation Trust from January to May 2016. McDonagh was charged with the offence when she appeared for sentencing yesterday for defrauding the Grenfell victims while working for Kensington and Chelsea council.
She showed little emotion in the dock as Edward Daffarn, a survivor of the fire that claimed 72 lives in June last year, said her actions were “beyond contempt”. He told Isleworth crown court: “It is a reopening of wounds that they are desperately trying to heal.”
He added: “It disgusts and sickens me that a fraud against our community has been perpetrated by someone who was employed by the local authority.
“Instead of showing empathy to the victims of the fire this individual saw our predicament merely as a chance for personal financial profit.”
Ben Holt, for the prosecution, said that when McDonagh worked for the NHS: “She set up a bogus company called Tresdoor Ltd, which bore her own bank details. She altered the details of a registered supplier of the NHS to Tresdoor.
“The expenditure is heavy and frequent, considerable sums are spent at high street stores, for example Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury’s.”
McDonagh was arrested in August this year at the offices of her new employer, the Victoria & Albert museum in London, over the Grenfell fraud. The court was told that McDonagh was investigated for defrauding the museum but was not charged after it was shown she did not steal any funds.
McDonagh, of Abbey Wood, southeast London, had admitted two charges of fraud by abuse of position, one of theft by employee and one of converting criminal property while she was a finance manager for the Grenfell fund.
Neil Ross, in mitigation, said McDonagh apologised to her victims and added that she “will of course have a long time to think about her actions”.
We need more female finance managers.
